    Default Witch Galvos to go with?

    Ok so my laser is going to get here in about 3-4 weeks but I want to make sure I have all the other parts here before it shows up.... I am going to get the FB3 (don't know which one yet) and now I am looking for scanners..... I was going to go with the dt-25 but http://www.dzelaser.com/dt25.htm has stopped selling them and is now offering the dt 30's for 350$ or idk on the price yet as that is msrp.... but now wit that much money the dt-40's are only 150$ away and then after reading some reviews of the new scanpro 40's by buffo and now am says that they are better then the dt40's but they go over my 350$ budget.... plus where would you get them as I am in America and laser show parts is in Australia.....
    So I do not know what scanners to go with plus http://photonlexicon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9100 there are some 40k scanners their but I haven't heard of any reviews of that product yet......
    I am stuck I don't know which is better then what and what I should go with my 350$ budgets that's expandable to 500$

    My uses are going to be a graphics display plus I need wide angle scans for beam shows.
    Thank you
    Michael

    DZE and Laser Show Parts are both very reputable dealers and all-around good folks. The advantage with DZE is he is stateside, so shipping wouldn't be quite as expensive or take as long; plus, he generally pre-tunes all the scanners before he sends them out, and attends most of the SELEM and FLEM meets, so he's onsite tech support! Laser Show Parts has been around a bit longer, and occasionally may offer some deals on certain scanner packages - so, sometimes, even with the cost of shipping, you might come out a bit cheaper going with them. (Remember the cost on the Laser Show Parts is in Australian dollars, so convert to US dollars to compare prices.) The DT and ScanPro series are both very good scanners, so you have a win-win either way.

    Beams generally aren't as demanding on scanners as graphics, so any quality set from 25 to 30K on up would suit you fine. If the budget can hack it it, you certainly won't go wrong with a 40K set, but a 30K set will still suit most of your needs for a LONG time.

    Hey guys, it's true, the DT-25's are being discontinued and replaced with the DT-30's which will use an amp very similar to the DT-40's. I don't have any in stock yet so I haven't seen thier performance. The web price will be $350 however they will be offered to PL members at a discounted price.
